Tbh I dont usually spend that much on food i.e meal or just the entre. About the most expensive thing Ive had was a 100+ dollar meal i.e crab, lobster, some sickeningly sweet mango cocktail etc. And I also found out that I am not really a fan of the way the roasted brussel sprouts were prepared. (They drizzled a sweet sauce on them that wasnt just due to carmelization and I cannot stand the resulting flavor profile) Overall the meal was good but not worth the cost at all.

Ive spent 50-60 bucks on the ingredients for a meal Ive prepared at home that I enjoyed more than that.

At some point Id like to try real wagyu beef but I am pretty sure the level of fat will not be to my liking as I normally pick fairly lean cuts but a large part of that is because most fatty beef doesnt really have great marbling throughout the cut. Its mostly separate and just gags me with the texture of it.

Aged steak. No.

Assuming we're talking about a singular dish/entree and not an entire meal.

A5 beef in Japan... I don't regret trying it, because it was really good, I'm not a meat expert, I rarely eat beef anyway because of how bad it is for the environment, but as a once in a lifetime experience, it's one of my favourite meals of all time.

I had a $80 steak at a fancy restaurant once. No it was not worth it. I've made better steaks myself.

Dirt according to my bully. Had to get new teeth after that.

I can't even remember, (very) expensive food is wasted on me. I enjoy a quality meal, but the top tier stuff just doesn't make any exceptional or special impression with me. It's just good food.

Drink wise, Dom Pérignon. It was not worth $300 or $400 I paid for a bottle. It was good, just not that good.

Food wise, probably a $90 steak at Chicago Cut. Worth every penny.

Salmon roes, or "fake caviar". There's a whole story about that, involving going to country A to neighbouring country B through country C just to smuggle stuff, while the driver (my then girlfriend) was drunk as a skunk.

It tastes fishy, a bit salty, but I liked it. It pops on your mouth. I'd rather eat deep-fried roes though.

My wife. Most days, yes.

Mitefosin tablets I got for Leishmaniosis, two packages for a bit over 5000 Eur for both . Thank god for health insurance.

Cutaneous Leishmaniosis at two places, one being.my face over the upper lip. I was happy.I got treatment instead of bad scars.

I was sent to German countryside once for work and had to eat at a restaurant. The cheapest meal was already totally expensive. Some potatoes and green stuff. Not worth it.

michelin star restaurants, worth it.

The most expensive thing I've eaten is a sannakji dish my friend prepared. It was the opposite of worth it.

Google tried to buy me a $50 burger. I passed in favor of a $25 salad. Still felt stupid just slightly less so.

A meal at a fancy small restaurant near us. I would say yes worth it for the service more than the food. Each dish he put before both of us to share, got to try so many interesting foods. I liked it enough to say yes worth it but wouldn't do it even once a year.

Sushi at this sushi bar. It was not worth it, because it made me want to throw up, and it tastes horrible
